So long TWENTIES!!!!

Tomorrow is officially my last day in the 20's. I had a friend send me a text today asking how I was handling turning 30. He said he handled 30 roughly but it turned out to be a good day. This got me thinking....



I'm excited to turn 30 and I believe it is the birthday I've been most excited about since I can remember. I guess I do not dwell on all the perceived bad things that come with turning 30. When I was younger, 30 was old but now that I am 30, I feel young. Funny how things change. People always take you more seriously in your 30's for some reason. Did you know that Bill Gates made $234 million at age 30? Have you seen the "Book of Ages:30"? I plan to buy it for all my friends turning the BIG 3-0. It was published in 2003 so a little outdated but entertaining.

Here is a little insert from the Book of Ages:30
This year about four million people in the United States will turn 30. If you?re one of them, the bad news is that you?re older than 42 percent of Americans. You?ve already lost 10 percent of your muscle mass. And, on average, you?re almost $20,000 in debt. But don?t despair. At 30, Harrison Ford was working as a carpenter, and neither Oprah nor Jane Austen had found fame. Edvard Munch?s famous painting The Scream? Created at 30. And, most heartening, you?re still gettin? it on? 2.24 times a week.

These are but a few of the factoids, demographic stats, quotes, biographical sketches, and sage and not-so-sage observations in this illustrated celebration of this landmark birthday and the decade that follows. Featuring everything you ever wanted to know about your 30s? and a few things you probably didn?t? Book of Ages 30 offers a chance to reflect on past accomplishments, look ahead to future successes, and completely freak out ? all at the same time



If I have learn nothing else from Desperate Housewives, 40 is the new 30 and 30 is the new 20.

So drink that extra cup of coffee, coke, wine, beer or whatever you enjoy today. Cheers to my last day in the roaring 20's!
